      Do you have suggestions about how the reports were presented?

-Gary Jones – great but CEO too long & boring – prefer handout.

-Need to include items and results of cost saving goals and getaway from reports of spending programs

-I think it was well done – very informative

-Very informative about # members & 5% for quorum, etc. liked the slides to emphasize information

-In the presentation page where you list the schools you specifically showed Elmore-Pernell as a combined school. You only list Bray. I am sure you are aware that Bray combined with Doyle many years ago under a court order. I feel if you are going to show the schools they should be properly identified. It is Bray-Doyle School. I brought this to the attention of one of the REC board members to be corrected. It STILL showed wrong AGAIN this year. It would be greatly appreciated if you would correct this to show Bray-Doyle School.

     Do you have suggestions for prizes for 2025

-Perhaps a gardening tool or a pet toy.

-Love the light bulbs.

-Credits in our current economic times is best!

-Outside Big Grill

-I kind of miss the old way it was done. Maybe more half and half…The credits are good, but maybe less with physical items. And to get them must be present.

-Prefer like old ways drawing for multiple gifts donated.

-I think the people that wasn’t at the meeting shouldn’t get any of the prize drawings. Just the $25 of electricity.
